Re: Looking for feedback and info about Keefreight Logistics anyone heard of them ?
Delighted I found this thread. Was eyeing a 2020 Ford Ranger they had posted. Bit gutted it’s now marked sold, but at least I know to watch for future stock. Sounds like they run a tight ship.

Re: What is the acceptable quantity of oil consumption?
Thank you, everyone; this is not only a brief weekend task.
The advantage is that it will consistently get new oil.
Would a more viscous oil be beneficial at this time? I am now using 5w30 Mannol 7908; should I continue with this choice?
Thank you.

What is the acceptable quantity of oil consumption?
Is it accurate to assert that the R56 Minis use oil, with an expectation of around 1 litre every 1,000 miles?
I recall seeing a sticker that said, "I drink Oil," and I now suspect that they really do so, LOL

Re: Diagnostic codes for engine management systems
Appreciation is extended. Last night, I was unable to get the code for the sensor located above the turbo. However, I will make an effort to obtain it today, as well as any other codes that may arise. One of the codes that appeared was 28CD00, indicating a missing code for the radiator shutters.

Diagnostic codes for engine management systems
The engine management light in my BMW 1 series 116D 2016 plate has illuminated due to two issues. Firstly, the air intake is registering a higher than normal level.

Re: The charging of the CX90 PHEV is resulting in a buzzing circuit breaker and intermittent light flickering.
I corroborated the information using the same method as my buddy. Undoubtedly, it seems to be a Mazda-related issue. I have scheduled an appointment with the dealer for next week, in the hope that they will be able to resolve the issue.

Greetings, I just acquired a CX 90 PHEV. Regrettably, we have encountered an issue where the car is generating electrical interference in the circuit breaker panel, resulting in flickering of LED lights whenever we charge it with the provided level one charger. After thoroughly reviewing the boards,...
